The Best Disney Souvenir

Number One Daughter has two good friends and the three of them are inseparable. Unfortunately, one of them has to leave to go to her native Saudi Arabia tomorrow and will be gone for several months.

All three are so sad!

Last night, they decided to see the new Jonas Brother’s 3-D movie at the theatres in Downtown Disney. Afterwards, Number One Daughter decided the three of them would create a personalized, custom T-Shirt at the Disney Design-a-Tee store for the friend who is leaving tomorrow. Here’s how it works:

The Design Process

You begin at a computer kiosk with a monitor shaped like a T-shirt. First, you choose the size, style and color of the T-shirt. Then you select a picture.

There are several dozen images to choose from. Most are famous Disney characters or a group of characters. There are also designs celebrating major holidays, graduations, reunions, birthdays and so forth.

Number One’s friend picked a light blue shirt with “Class of ’09” on it to remind her of her first year in the Montessori School with Number One Daughter and her other friend.

After choosing a design, you can have up to four lines of text–One on top of the image and three below. Disney reserves the right to edit any text you create.

In honor of the movie they just saw, they put “We Luv Da JB” where JB=Jonas Brothers. (Actually, Number One Daughter HATES the Jonas Brothers, but we think the peer pressure got to her.) Then, they each put their names as “Mrs. Jonas.” They found that quite cute!

After creating your T-shirt, the computer spits out a bar code that you take to a counter to place your order, have one last opportunity to proofread and make your payment.

The shirt Number One Daughter and her friend selected for their other friend only cost $27–Making it one of the best and least expensive Disney souvenirs I have even seen!

The next day at school, the friend leaving for Saudi Arabia proudly wore her new T-shirt. Number One Daughter, on the other hand, proudly wore her “Beatles” T-shirt; perhaps in protest of having created a shirt in honor of the Jonas Brothers or perhaps in remembrance of her mother’s crazed rock-n-roll fan days when she was the same age as Number One Daughter!

Najudy: My goodness, I spend all this time talking about how great the Montessori School is–And then you misspell 22 out of 44 words! What’s a writer to think? (Or am I just from the wrong generation?) 🙂 LanceAround
